Dear friend of Arkadia,

You are invited to a presentation of Francois-André Danican Philidor (1726-1795) by Aaro Jalas on Thursday 18.5. at 6 pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11).

F.A.D. Philidor was one of 18th century’s most famous French opera composers. Apart from this, he was also among the greatest chess players of his time. The discussion of Philidor’s life will open up a view on the 18th century cultural history through the world of chess, cafés, music and the Enlightenment thought.

– A donation of €3 (or more!) to fund the bookshop is suggested and would be most welcome. Arkadia wouldn’t exist without this act of generosity. If you have no loose change or coins we gladly accept payment via Visa Electron or Mastercard etc. !
